PREFACE  TO   PART   FIRST. 


Two  or  three  memories  may  sometimes  reach  back  a  hundred  and  fifty 
or  two  hundred  years,  but  the  aged  sires  and  matrons  whose  fathers  tokl  them 
what  their  grandsires  saw  and  did  a  century  and  a  half  ago  are  fast  passing 
away.  Even  the  old  records,  brown  and  brittle  with  age,  are  crumbling  and 
disappearing.  Three  of  the  closely  written  leaves  of  the  oldest  volume  of 
Oxford  records,  which  evidently  gave  the  earliest  vital  statistics  of  the 
parish,  are  gone,  while  others  are  so  worn  as  not  to  be  fully  decipherable. 
Old  documents  are  destroyed  by  accident  or  scattered  far  and  wide  by  the 
migration  of  families.  In  view  of  this,  and  to  bring  these  matters  into 
convenient  form  for  reference  and  preservation,  the  following  pages  have 
been  compiled. 

The  original  parish  records  are  in  two  volumes,  one  of  which  was  kept 
by  the  pastor  and  contained  a  record  of  such  matters  as  came  under  his 
direction,  and  the  other  by  the  clerk  of  the  society,  containing  a  record  of 
the  society  meetings  and  of  such  business  as  the  laws  of  the  colony  reserved 
to  laymen. 

Many  names  were  found  of  which  it  is  difficult  to  determine  the  exact 
spelling,  and  others  in  which  the  spelling  is  evidently  incorrect.  Knowing 
that  the  value  of  such  records  depends  upon  their  reliability,  great  care  has 
been  taken  to  make  a  correct  copy. 

The  figures  on  the  right  of  pages  23  to  27  and  34  to  53  are  in  the 
original  record  and  were  evidently  intended  to  show  at  a  glance  the  number 
of  the  event  recorded. 

The  incompleteness  of  the  town  record  of  deaths,  pages  76  to  79,  is  to 
be  regretted,  yet  even  as  it  is  they  will  be  of  great  value.  It  will  be  seen 
that  on  these  pages  the  children  are  mostly  omitted,  the  registrar  evidently 
entertaining  the  strange  idea  that  it  was  unnecessary  to  record  the  deaths  of 
the  little  ones. 

Those  who  may  be  able  are  requested  to  furnish  any  information,  old 
papers,  etc.,  which  may  aid  in  making  the  remainder  of  the  work  more 
complete  and  interesting. 


HISTORY  OF  OXFORD. 

THE    ECCLESIASTICAL   SOCIETY. 

The  town  of  Oxford  comprises  an  area  in  the  honored  Commonwealth  of 
Connecticut  which  has  had  its  full  share  in  the  development  of  those  forms  of 
government  which  secure  so  much  of  civil  and  religious  liberty.  Its  sons  and 
daughters  faithfully  toiled  to  lay  the  foundations  of  present  prosperity  and 
sacrificed  much  that  justice  and  freedom  should  triumph. 

Not  incorporated  as  a  town  until  1798,  yet  clothed  with  the  powers  of  an 
independent  parish  in  1741,  it  is  to  the  parish  records  we  must  look  for  most 
of  the  details  of  more  than  half  a  century,  and  in  the  minutia  of  the  affairs  of 
the  ecclesiastical  society  so  carefully  preserved,  we  find  a  key  to  many  incidents 
of  pioneer  life. 

The  history  of  a  church  is,  to  a  great  extent,  the  history  of  the  people  of 
the  people  of  the  parish,  and  in  many  cases,  is  about  the  only  available  record 
which  gives  any  details  of  the  earlier  inhabitants,  whose  descendants  have 
left  their  impress  on  the  society  and  institutions  of  the  country  from  the 
Atlantic  to  the  Pacific,  and  from  British  America  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico. 

The  first  petition  for  the  setting  apart  of  Oxford  as  a  separate  parish  was 
made  to  the  General  Assembly  in  May,  1740,  and  on  the  7th  of  May,  1741,  the 
petition  was  granted  in  the  following  words : 

"Whereas  upon  the  memorial  of  Timothy  Worster,  John  Twitchel  and 
John  Towner,  &c.,  dwelling  in  the  and  northwest  part  of  the  township  of 
Derby,  Isaac  Trowbridge,  John  Weed,  Jonas  Weed,  Joseph  Weed,  Thomas 
and  Joseph  Osborn,  dwelling  in  the  southwest  part  of  Waterbury  woods,  in 
the  old  society  in  said  Waterbury,  and  Isaac  Knowles,  Joseph  Towner, 
Eliphalet  Bristol,  John  Tift,  and  Aaron  Bristol,  dwelling  in  the  southeast 
part  of  the  township  of  Woodberry  woods  in  the  parish  of  Southberry,  mov- 
ino-  to  the  General  Assembly  holden  at  Hartford,  May,  anno  Dom.  1740, 
that  they  might  become  one  entire,  ecclesiastical  society,  and  praying  for  a 
committee,  &c.;  the  said  General  Assembly  did  appoint  a  committee,  who 
accordingly  making  their  report  to  the  General  Assembly  at  New  Haven  in 
October  last,  and  the  same  not  being  accepted ;  and  the  said  General  Assem- 
bly in  October  last  appointing  another  C(mimittee,  Colo.  Benjamin  Hall,  Capt. 
Isaac  Dickerman  and  Capt.  John  Fowler,  to  view  and  report,  &c.:  And 
whereas  the  said  last  mentioned  committee  have  to  this  Assembly  made  their

report  that  according  to  the  direction  of  said  Assembly  they  have  repaired  to 
the  abovesaid  places,  &c.,  and  find  and  are  of  opinion,  that  it  is  necessary  and 
best  that  the  said  inhabitants  be  made  a  distinct,  separate  ecclesiastical  society, 
and  that  their  bounds  and  limits  be  as  foUoweth :  Beginning  at  the  mouth  of 
the  four  mile  brook  in  Derby  bounds,  where  the  brook  emptieth  itself  into 
the  great  river,  and  to  run  as  said  brookrunneth.by  said  brook  unto  the  bridge 
that  is  between  the  dwelling  houses  of  Abel  Gun  and  John  Holbrook;  and 
from  said  bridge  by  the  highway  that  runneth  between  the  land  commonly 
called  the  Camp's  Mortgage  and  the  land  called  Quakers  Farm  Purchase, 
unto  the  river  called  the  Little  river;  and  thence  as  the  Little  river  runneth  to 
Naugatuck  river;  and  thence  northerly,  by  said  Naugatuck  river,  that 
being  the  east  bounds  of  said  society,  until  it  comes  to  the  dividing 
line  between  the  towns  of  Derby  and  Waterbury ;  thence  turning  westerly 
and  running  as  the  line  runneth  between  the  towns  of  Derby  and  Water- 
bury,  as  aforesaid,  until  it  comes  to  the  southeasterly  boundary  of  Thomas 
and  Joseph  Osborn's  Farm  in  the  bounds  of  Derby ;  and  from  thence  to  run 
northerly  to  the  northeast  corner  boundary  of  Jos.  Weed's  farm  iu  Waterbury 
town  bounds ;  and  from  thence  a  northwesterly  line  to  the  northeast  corner 
boundary  of  Isaac  Trowbridge's  farm,  in  said  Waterbury  town  bounds :  and 
from  thence  to  run  westerly,  in  the  line  of  said  Trowbridge's  farm,  about  sixty 
rods,  to  Woodberry  town  line ;  and  thence  to  the  northwest  corner  of  Isaac 
Knowles'  farm  in  the  township  of  Woodberry;  and  from  the  northwest  cor- 
ner of  said  Knowles'  farm  a  west  line  to  the  eight  mile  brook,  in  the  bounds 
of  Woodberry;  and  then  by  the  said  brook,  until  it  comes  to  the  dividing  line 
between  the  towns  of  Woodberry  and  Derby;  and  thence  to  run  westerly  in 
the  line  that  divideth  between  the  said  towns  of  Woodberry  and  Derby, 
unto  the  great  river ;  thence  by  the  river  southerly  to  the  first  mentioned 
boundary,  the  mouth  of  four  mile  brook  ;  as  by  said  report  on  file,  dated 
May  the  7th,  anno  Dom.   1741.'" 

'■''It  is  thereupon  resolved  hythis  Assembly,  That  the  above  said  memori- 
alists, inhabitants  of  Derby,  AVaterberry  and  Woodberry,  situate  and  living 
within  the  bounds  and  limits  above  described,  be  and  become  together  one 
entire,  separate  aad  distinct  ecclesiatical  society  or  parish,  subsisting  and 
known  by  the  name  of  the  parish  of  Oxford,  and  endowed  with  all  powers 
and  privileges  wherewith  other  parishes  within  this  government  are  by  law 
endowed." 

The  first  meeting  of  the  society  was  held  June  30,  1741.  The  following 
is  an  exact  copy  of  the  record  : 

Att  a  meetting  of  the  Parrish  or  society  of  oxford,  in  the  Colony  of  Con 
necticut,  on  the  thirtieth  Day  of  June,  3741,  being  Lawfully  warned  and  held 
att  the  house  of '"'Samuel  Twitchels.  Isaac  Trowbridge,  of  said  Parrish,  by 
a  major  vote  was  chosen  Clerk  of  the  same,  and  the  oath  by  Law  provided  for 
a  society  Clerk  was  to  him  administered  iu  said  meeting  pr  Sam^'  Bassit,

At   a   society  meeting    held    Oct.  0th,   1741,  it  was  voted  to  build  a 

meeting  house  and  to  ask  the  General  Assembly  at  their  next  session   to 

appoint  a  commission  to  decide  where  the  meeting  house  should  be  built. 

■4- Mr.  Ebenezer  Riggs  was  appointed  agent  for  the  society  to  present  the  matter 

to  the  General  Assembly.     The  following  is  the  order  of  the  Assembly  : 

"Upon  the  report  of  Capt.  Isaac  Dickerman,  Mr.  James  Talmadge  and 
]Mr.  John  Hitchcock,  appomted  by  this  Assembly  to  affix  the  place  for

Northbury  for  the  confirmation  of  Mr.  Storrs. 

Dec.  1,  Dea.  John  Lumm  was  chosen  messenger  to  attend  the  consocia- 
tion at  North  Guilford. 

At  a  church  meeting  held  Jan.  23d,  1766,  and  at  several  subsequent 
meetings  there  were  under  consideration  a  disagreement  between  Asah 
Ward  and  Samuel  Wheeler  which  are  of  interest  only  as  showing  the  au- 
thority of  the  church  at  that  time.  It  appears  that  Wheeler  has  spoken 
against  the  character  of  Ward.  After  giving  the  specifications  the  charge 
proceeds  as  follows: 


56  OXFORD  HISTORY. 

"  All  which  is  apprehended  to  be  a  direct  and  scandelous  breach  of  y® 
9^^  Commandment,  and  highly  prejudicial  to  Truth  and  Justice.  And  fur- 
thermore is  y*  criminal  slandring  and  Backbiting,  and  evil -speaking  which  is 
expressly,  and  repeatedly  forbiden  in  God's  Holy  Word,  and  so  is  highly  dis- 
honourable to  God,  and  justly  Matter  of  Offence  to  all  y**  People  of  God. 
That  y**  Complainant  being  justly  grieved,  and  offended,  did  according  to  y" 
Direction  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  in  such  case  provided,  go  to  y**  s'^  Sam'' 
Wheler,  and  betwene  him  and  himself  alone  told  him  his  Fault,  but  he  re- 
fusing to  hear  him,  s*^  Complainant  proceeded  according  to  y*^  above  men- 
tioned Direction,  to  take  two  of  y*'  Brethren  of  s'l  Ch^^,  and  did  with  them  go 
again  and  tell  him  his  Fault,  but  without  y**  desired  effect,  and  to  his  grief. 
And  now  according  to  Christs  Rule  he  finds  himself  obliged  to  tell  y®  Matter, 
as  he  now  does  to  the  Ch'^  hoping  his  ofiending  Brother,  who  has  refused  to 
hear  him  or  y"  Brethren  with  him  will  hear  y**  Ch^,  wherefore  y**  s^  Com- 
plainant desires  his  Rev*^  Pastor,  and  Brethren  in  Christ,  to  take  Cog- 
nissance  of  the  s"^  Matter,  and  Hear,  Judge,  Weigh,  and  determine  s*^  Cause 
on  hearing  y®  Evidence  sd  Complainant  has  in  Readiness  to  produce  in  sup- 
port of  y<^  Charge,  brought  in  this  Complaint,  when  called  thereto. 

Dated  in  Oxford  Sepf  25**'  1765.  Asah  Ward. 

Rev.  Messrs.  Humphrey  and  Woodbridge  were  called  in  to  advise  and 
assist  in  the  matter.  Deacon  John  Lum,  Capt.  Joseph  Osborn,  Ensign 
Thomas  Clark  and  Mr.  Samuel  Wooster  were  appointed  to  confer  with 
Wheeler  and  Ward  and  endeavor  to  effect  a  reconciliation.  These  dignitaries 
being  unsuccessful  a  meeting  was  held  Jan.  30th,  1766. 

"  Upon  Consideration  of  the  Facts,  and  hearing  y*^  Evidences  in  s'^  Case, 
it  was  1^*  Determined  by  the  Ch'',  that,  the  Declaration  of  s'^  Sam"  Wheler 
was  not  in  Peremptory  Terms,  but  by  way  of  Oppinion. — 2*^'^  tryed  by  Vote 
wheather  a  Confession  exhibited  by  s"*  Sam"  Wheler,  some  Time  Since  to  s*^ 
Asah  Ward  was  a  Sufficient  Confession,  s'^  Vote  passed  in  the  Negative.  3'^ 
Voted  that  s'*  Sam"  Wheler  should  exhibit  a  publick  Confession.  4*'^'^  Vot- 
ed that  Deacon  John  Luram,  aud  Cap*  Zechariah  Hawkings,  should  go  out 
with  me  in  order  to  assist  in  drawing  up  a  confession  which  was  in  y**  words 
following  (viz:)  "I  Samuel  Wheler,  acknowledge,  that  Some  Time  in 
March  1765,  I  did  openly  utter  Some  Expressions  (as  my  Opinion)  against 
Asah  Ward,  a  member  of  this  Ch'>,  Contrary  to  the  Rules  of  Gods  Word, 
whereby  I  have  grieved  him  aud  this  Ch'^,  for  which  I  am  heartily  Sorry,  and 
ask  his  Forgivness,  and  the  Forgivness  of  all  Gods  People  for  me,  proraiss- 
ing  by  divine  grace  assisting  me  wherein  I  have  offended  to  do  so  no  more. 
Signed  p''  Samuel  Wheler. 

Oxford  Jan--  SO^'^  1766. 

It  was  voted  that  this  "confession"  was  sufficient  and  that  it  "be  read  in 
publick  next  Lord's  day,  in  the  forenoon,  immediately  after  ye  sermon  was 
ended,''  which  was  done  and  Wheeler  "was  restored  to  Charity."
